Goodwill Store Proposed for Weber Road Site

The Romeoville Village Board must approve a special-use permit before the retail/donation center can be built at Weber and Airport roads.

A 17,000-square-foot Goodwill store and donation center will be built next to the Aldi on Weber Road, contingent on the Romeoville Village Board approving a special-use permit for the development.

The board was briefed this week on the concept plan, which call for the store to be built on a 2.73-acre site at Airport and Taylor roads, according to a Joliet Herald News story. The store would have 88 parking spaces in a lot with three access points.

The special use permit is required under village zoning laws governing second-hand retail stores.

“(Goodwill) is doing a lot of new, innovative things,” Mayor John Noak said in the Herald News story. “It’s going to be a nice asset to our community.”

Goodwill already has stores in Joliet, Plainfield and Bolingbrook.
